Expert 774 | Subject: RE: Motivational Quotes Recommendations from Commander Keith Davis, US Navy SEAL and Kona Ironman: 1. Eliminate self-limiting thoughts. More often than not, people have preconceived notions about what is possible for them to achieve. They sell themselves short. Abolish thoughts that hold you back from achieving your true potential. 2. Optimize your skills. Everyone begins at a different place and each of us are dealt a different set of genetic cards. Use that to your advantage and optimize your assets. 3. Be willing to spend the effort and energy to be successful. Anyone can succeed if they are willing to work at it. Too many people want to reap rewards without the sacrifice that is necessary to achieve any goal. 4. Enjoy the journey. If you can enjoy the pursuit of excellence, you've got it made. Aiming to enjoy only the end result makes it impossible to endure the necessary sacrifices to achieve any goal really worth having. 5. Be a student. The more you understand about what it is you're trying to do and how to do it, the easier it is to be successful. Be a student of your passion. 6. Persevere. There are many things that can get in the way of successfully achieving any goal. You have to be willing to figure out how to get over, under, around or through those obstacles. Keep trying. 7. Develop mental toughness. It is not the physical challenges that keep men from successfully surviving the SEAL training, it is mentally giving up. You need to start believing that you can do it, you can be successful. Others have been successful before you, you can do it too. 8. Be prepared to suffer. When you are training for an event as large as a 140.6-mile triathlon, it is a long haul. There is going to be bad weather, aching body parts and times when you are just plain tired. Know that some stress, followed by rest, will make you stronger physically and mentally. 9. Take strength from others. This tip is particularly valuable for race day. Right when you are thinking things are really bad for you, look around. You'll see that others are suffering too. Knowing you're not the only one and that other people will suffer generates energy, if you're willing to accept it. 10. You must want success. Doing something that is difficult requires that you want to be successful with every fiber of your core. The intense desire to succeed helps you overcome obstacles that crush other people. 11. Avoid over-training. It is easy for highly motivated people to over-train. Achievers are often rewarded for doing more and working harder. While you must work hard and do the prescribed work, you must also rest in order to reap the benefits. http://www.active.com/triathlon/Arti...ement=1&Dy=Mon |

Veteran 378 The Cold North | Subject: RE: Motivational Quotes My most motivational thing isn't a quote either. My 3 year old son has cancer. When I think I can't possibly do any more, I think how hard he is fighting to kick cancer's and I push myself harder. |

Subject: RE: Motivational Quotes Thats funny... I usually give myself the quote to get started, or use one when I am coaching, but when I am nearing the end of, or what I think is my end for that day... I think about my wife and my daughter and find some strength... when that strength is running low, I think about (I swear) our men and women in the militery... 4 more miles of jogging for a race is far better than running 4 miles in the desert tracking down the bad guy... and I must not dishonor them by complaining about my freedoms. |

Veteran 275 | Subject: RE: Motivational Quotes These are my favs Let me be brave in the attempt When I am feeling down and feeling like a workout is getting too hard I remind myself of this little ditty from a fellow triathlete and BT member "This is a triathlon, it is supposed to be hard" |

Champion 7136 Knoxville area | Subject: RE: Motivational Quotes Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle when the sun comes up you'd better be running. |

Veteran 160 GA | Subject: RE: Motivational Quotes I'd just like to post some thoughts from these quotes... favorites so far are the one from Muhammad Ali, Bear Gryll, and from "Into the Wild." The movie was incredible, as was this quote. I'm sure the book is a million times better. |

Elite 3650 Laurium, MI | Subject: RE: Motivational Quotes wow, no Pre fans? His are the absolute best! "A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more. Nobody is going to win a 5,000 meter race after running an easy 2 miles. Not with me. If I lose forcing the pace all the way, well, at least I can live with myself." "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the Gift." "What I want is to be number one." "Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it." "The best pace is a suicide pace, and today is a good day to die" |

Member 18 pembroke pines | Subject: RE: Motivational Quotes 'Cause sometimes you feel tired, feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength and just pull that sh*t out of you and get that motivation to not give up and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse. -Eminem Edited by FLiP129 2009-06-20 10:29 AM |
